I like the concept a lot! Execution is alright - one really easy thing that would help a lot is to make the dice you click to reroll vertical instead of horizontal. I kept getting confused whether the left dice would do the top row or the bottom row and would mess up my pieces. Some people might find the clicking and arrow keys at the same time too difficult to manage, but I think the dice fall slow enough that it's no big deal. Nice work!

My only problem with it is that I’m just too small-brained to do very good at it, but super cool game!

Blood MortgageGreat idea! So interesting to make the pieces using dice rolls. I kept forgetting to change the shape of the pieces but it's interesting to have two things to focus on.

As Rolled As DiceThis is a really cool idea! I think the implementation of the dice mechanic is really well done. I think that as a tetris game, some of the behavior could be better. The rotation isn't ideal, and even after rerolling for my next piece, I wished there was a hard drop. Overall, quite polished for a jam game, and I had fun time playing it.

Dungeon of the Dice 2D₍₂₀₎Someone actually made the dice tetris game lmaoo, we had this idea too but just decided there wasn't really a way to make it interesting.
But this is interesting, and also odddd.
It's tricky to get into the habit of rolling your pieces, but once you do it kind of feels overpowered to be able to just get the piece you want whenever. It'd probably be too much, but working it so somehow the sides of the die matter could be interesting, like you can only clear rows with the same face, but that kinda sounds impossible lmao.
Another issue I think is that the concept of this doesn't scale well with increasing difficulty since you kind of have to rely on being able to have time to set up the pieces.
Idunno, I appreciate the take on it but unfortunately I don't think dice tetris will be the new hotness.
Good job though!

Dice BeatPretty cool game! I liked the twist that you have to focus on two things at the same time! Personally I would say its better to make the dice reroll buttons somewhere on the keyboard, as you have to switch between the mouse and keyboard rn, which makes it a bit inconvieniant, but overall great stuff!

Hungry KnightHey this is pretty cool, some of those shapes were a real struggle to place! As Ragtag mentioned it took a minute to get used to re-rolling and placing at the same time. Also thanks for explaining what pip means at the end, I was getting confused as to why so many games had 'pip' in the name haha.

Dice CrawlerVery cool and original take on the theme! Trying to position the falling block AND reroll the next block at the same time broke my brain a little (in a good way!) Great stuff!

Dice with KaliClever idea for a game! I agree with the other people that it's a bit much to do both actions simultaneously. Maybe flip between the two as time goes on? The art looks great, but it would be nice to have some sort of rolling animation for the dice. Nice job!

Jamba JumbleI like the concept, but damn I'm not good at this. Maybe make the maximum number less than 6? It gets quite chaotic.

Die in SpaceThe idea is good but the execution is not good at all
Its not really fun to rotate and reroll at the same time
